Job Description

We are looking to onboard an Executive Feeding & Nutrition Animal Care Specialist (Strategy) to strengthen our Feeding & Nutrition Programmes - Strategy & Planning function within Zoo & Aquarium Management. This is a mid level opening based out of Noida, offered on a full-time basis.

The ideal candidate holds B.Sc (Zoology/Animal Science) and brings roughly 7 years of hands-on exposure to feeding & nutrition programmes - strategy & planning. Day-to-day, the work draws heavily on Nutrition Programmes, Feeding, Record Keeping (Animal Health), Visitor Engagement & Education, and the person will be expected to apply these skills independently rather than under constant supervision.

Compensation for this position is structured around INR 7.2-17.6 LPA, in line with market standards for mid level roles within zoo & aquarium management.

Managers here tend to give context rather than instructions, leaving room for the individual to decide how a task gets done. The team follows a flat structure where ideas are evaluated on merit rather than hierarchy, and feedback flows in both directions. The role alternates between independent deep work and short coordination huddles with stakeholders across functions.

Compensation includes standard statutory benefits along with performance-linked variable pay. New joiners typically get a short structured onboarding before being handed independent ownership of their first deliverables. There's usually a block of uninterrupted time set aside for focused work, separate from meetings and coordination calls.

The organisation has historically promoted from within for a majority of its senior and lead openings. In addition to fixed pay, the role carries eligibility for annual appraisals and merit-based increments. Interested candidates should be prepared to walk through relevant past work during the interview process.

Leave policy follows standard industry norms, including earned leave, sick leave, and public holidays as applicable. The next logical step from this position is a senior or lead-track role within the same function.

Internal job postings are open to employees who've completed a minimum tenure in their current role. The package is structured with a fixed component, performance bonus, and standard health coverage. Shortlisted applicants will be evaluated on both domain knowledge and practical problem-solving ability.

There is a defined internal mobility path for people who want to specialise deeper or move into people management. No two days look identical - some are heavy on execution, others are spent largely in planning and cross-team discussions.

References may be requested closer to the offer stage rather than at the start of the process. The organisation places a premium on ownership; once a task is assigned, the expectation is to see it through without hand-holding.

Applications without a clear summary of relevant experience are less likely to be shortlisted for the first round. Performance is reviewed on a structured cycle, with clear criteria for movement into the next band.

Mornings are usually spent on planning and status reviews, while the rest of the day is given over to hands-on delivery and problem-solving. Candidates are encouraged to highlight measurable outcomes from previous roles rather than just responsibilities held. A typical day starts with reviewing priority tasks and syncing with the immediate team before moving into focused execution work.

This role offers a genuine opportunity to build depth in Feeding & Nutrition Programmes - Strategy & Planning while working alongside an experienced team.
